In this Season 1 - Episode 4- Gulbano Ki Shaadi - Old Delhi Podcast (In collaboration with The Might of Pen) Afsha Kausar has written a beautiful story about one of her childhood incidents which is interesting and gives a moral at the end. Narrated by Ahmer Ammar in pure urdu the story starts from the place where Kausar is remembering her childhood summer vacations during which she went to her maternal home in Deoband as she didn't have any nearby relatives in her old Delhi.

During one such vacation, she went to the Meena Bazaar in Deoband city along with her aunt, where she bought a plastic doll. Kauser adopted the doll as her child and her younger sister became the doll's aunt. Then she remembers her maternal uncle who was very humble in nature and it was probably he who must have given the idea of the wedding of the doll to another doll. Kauser then again went to Meena bazaar where she bought another doll for wedding, which was adopted by a girl named Sadaf, who lived in the maternal home of kauser. Then both the dolls were given the name Gulbano and Gulfaam respectively. Later on, the wedding date was finalized and cards were distributed to the relatives for the first time in their family and whole house went into the preparation of the wedding. The writer then remembers how she accepted the initiative that after the wedding both the dolls would live in her house in Delhi 6 or she wouldn't allow the wedding to take place at all.

Just after the wedding the summer vacations also ended and Kauser came back to her city of Shahjahanabad with both the dolls. Meanwhile, in few days Gulfaam generated a defect in his eye which ended him in getting negligence from Kauser and her sister. In the end, Kauser was a struct with the fact that it was the phenomenon that “son in law who stays in her wife's home is never treated well" was the reason why Gulfaam was never cared about.
This story is a true example of the ill value we get from our society that those husbands who live in the houses of their wives families didn't have any respect.
